NMR Software Archive Instructions

• You should have instructions on how to download and install the software.

I suggest writing a script similar to the autoassign installation script to remove the burden from the user.  This will make all installations uniform and it is most likely that if it works on one system it will work on another.
 
• The software package should be tarred and gzipped by using tar and gzip.  The distribution should be named as follows:  ( this example is specific to autoassign.  But all other packages should just replace the name autoassign with the name you chose for your software.  )

    autoassign-1.2.0-sgi-irix-6.2.tar.gz

The file autoassign-1.2.0-sgi-irix-6.2.tar.gz should be placed in

/keck/nmr_execs/autoassign

( again the directory should be called appropriately according to the software).

• A link pointing to the version for distribution ( usually the latest ) should be called as follows:

  autoassign-current-sgi-irix6.2.tar.gz

( The script for downloading software will download the file pointed by this link. )
 

/keck/nmrexecs

 for executables following the naming convention adopted.

 for sources also following the naming convention.

Please use the autoassign distribution as an example:

ls -l /keck/nmrdev/autoassign/autoassign-cpp/
